Major Changes

A huge CMake cleanup is the most noticable change of this release. If you build software with CMake and libwbxml is a dependency, this should lead to a better dependency management. libwbxml comes now with a config and version file. The find module was removed.

• Updated the cmake package information by replacing the find module with proper cmake config and version files.
• Removed all cmake find modules of third party dependencies.
• Replaced proprietary FindCheck.cmake with standard usage of PkgConfig.
• Removed proprietary Testing.cmake.
• Added workaround for buggy FindEXPAT in cmake 3.27-3.29.
• Enabled --output-on-failure in GitHub runner config of ctest.

Internal Changes

• Removed a few unused variables which gcc reported during building with -Wall compiler option. A notable case was in function decode_wv_datetime where a memory allocation failure was ignored (pull request #92 by Petr Pisar).

Thanks

Very special thanks goes to @hosiet (Boyuan Yang). He reported the CMake issue more than three years ago and when I (@bellmich) picked up the issue, he answered at the same day. Wow!

The other special thank you goes to @ppisar (Petr Písař). After I created a fresh release after a pause of more than two years, he reported a patch for some build issues within a week.

libwbxml 0.11.9 release notes

Security Changes

Simon Koski and Alex Zhang from ACM Cyber at UCLA did some fuzz testing of the library. This led to some findings which could be used to cause a SIGABRT or a SIGSEGV. If the library is used by a server, this could potentially be used for a denial of service attack. All the changes are part of pull request #88).

• Removed assert in function wbxml_tree_clb_xml_end_element of
  wbxml_tree_clb_xml.c. The function had already the correct error handling
  implemented. The library no longer crashes but returns an error. The usage
  of assert.h was removed from wbxml_tree_clb_xml.c.
• Fixed SIGSEGV during parsing of malformed WV document in wbxml_parser.c.
  (SIGSEGV from Simon Koski & Alex Zhang)
• Fixed the handling of a wrong Unicode character in the function
  parse_entity of wbxml_parser.c. The library no longer crashes but returns
  an error. Therefore, a new error was defined in wbxml_errors.h. The usage
  of assert.h was removed from wbxml_parser.c.
  (SIGABRT from Simon Koski & Alex Zhang)
• Added missing NULL pointer check in function decode_opaque_content of
  wbxml_parser.c (SIGSEGV from Simon Koski & Alex Zhang).

Minor Changes

• Added new elements for support of ActiveSync v16.1 (Boris Shmarin, pull request #86).

Internal Changes

• Added a directory for and with fuzz tests which crash(ed) the library.
  (Thanks goes to Simon Koski & Alex Zhang for the tests.)
• Modify wbxml_getopt return opt type to int. This makes wbxml_getopt fully compatible with POSIX.
  (yangchenguang, pull request #87)
• Check for normalize_xml.pl failures in the tests (pull request #84).

Thanks

This time I would like to give a big thank you to the four people who actively contributed new stuff or error corrections to the library:

• Simon Koski
• Alex Zhang
• Boris Shmari
• yangchenguang (This is from GitHub. I have no better transcription of this name. If I get a better or correct one, I will replace this immediately with the correct name.)

libwbxml 0.11.8 release notes

Security Changes

• Changed the default internal namespace separator from the colon to the pipe
  (issue #76 from Sebastian Pipping, fixed in pull request #78 from Slávek Banko).

  problem CVE-2022-25236.

  (pull requests #61, #62, #63 and #64 from Gaurav Gupta)
